This time, it was Xue Yifan's turn to be surprised. He looked at Long Chen and said, "Dean Long Chen, greetings to Senior Xia Guhong?" "
I've drunk twice. Thanks to Brother Xia's help, he saved my life." Long Chen said.
"To drink heartily with the ruler of Daxia, a hero of the Great Xia, calling him brothers, clearly shows that Dean Long Chen is of that caliber."
When Xia Guhong was mentioned, Xue Yifan's face showed a trace of reverence.
It turned out that Xia Guhong was the hero who once led the Moluo Star Domain to glory, occupied vast territories, and established human fortresses on half the territory.
Originally, Xia Guhong was not from the Moluo Star Domain; it was only because his beloved confidante was there that Xia Guhong led the heroes of Great Xia to assist the Moluo Star Domain.
The woman who fell in love with Xia Guhong was named Luo Qingying. She was also exceptionally talented and exceptionally gifted. They were truly a match made in heaven, a perfect match. Their love was as deep as the sea, and countless people hailed them as immortal companions.
Together, the two led the human race in relentless battles against the Moluo clan, achieving unprecedented feats. In their era, the vastness of the human territory was truly unprecedented, unprecedented in history.
Later, the Moluo Star Domain was known externally as the Hongying Star Domain, all because of two people: Xia Guhong and Luo Qingying.
However, just as the human race was in a very favorable position, internal divisions began to arise because the mineral resources within the Moluo Star Domain were too abundant.
After occupying large tracts of land, people began frantically mining and digging, making the ownership of mineral deposits a problem.
At the same time, as the human race was in great shape, countless merchant groups from outside surged in. These merchants swarmed in like hyenas smelling carrion.
At that time, Xia Guhong suggested to Luo Qingying that all other merchant groups be driven out and only cooperate with Huayun Trading Company.
Unfortunately, when Luo Qingying proposed this suggestion, it was met with widespread opposition, especially from her family.
Because the Luo family had already established a partnership with Longteng Trading Company at that time, Longteng Trading Company offered a huge temptation, and the elders of the Luo family were determined to cooperate with Longteng Trading Company.
Other trading companies also set their sights on other forces and cooperated with them, because the Moluo Star Domain was originally an alliance. In the early stages, everyone could unite for survival.
But once life is secured and interests clash, the so-called alliance is completely vulnerable. The major powers begin to seize territory, seize mineral veins, and even fight fiercely.
At that time, the battle was only half won. Xia Guhong and Luo Qingying suggested everyone stop the conflict, unite against outsiders first, and then completely drive the Moruo clan out of the Moluo Star Domain before discussing how to allocate resources.
Unfortunately, under the merchants' instigation, people had long since grown enraged, caring only about profit, wanting to seize resources first. Some even began to accuse Xia Guhong, saying that the reason he helped the Moluo Star Domain was to use it as his treasury, using its wealth to help save the declining Great Xia.
In his rage, Xia Guhong executed countless rumor-mongers, but this only fueled even more suspicion.
In a fit of rage, Xia Guhong simply let go of the group, letting them fend for themselves, and took Luo Qingying away from this place of sorrow where they had fought for years.
Xia Guhong fought for the Moluo Star Domain for so many years, killing and wounding countless brothers, but in the end, all he got was insults and humiliation. Luo Qingying deeply understood that everything Xia Guhong did was for her, and she was even more heartbroken than Xia Guhong.
Especially her family, who secretly used many despicable tactics to seize more resources, and she saw it all. In the end, she left in disgrace with Xia Guhong.
During the century since Xia Guhong and Luo Qingying left, people have been fiercely competing for resources, and no one has ever dealt with the Moluo clan.
After a century of recuperation, the Moluo clan made a comeback, only for the human race to be wiped out like a decaying dam.
The merchants fled immediately, unable to withstand the Moluo clan's assault, suffering defeat after defeat, with countless deaths.
Large tracts of land were taken away, and many mineral deposits were reclaimed by magical beasts before even one percent was mined.
Only then did people realize how foolish it was to drive away Xia Guhong and Luo Qingying—a classic example of self-destruction.
But it was all too late. Although they had accumulated vast wealth over the past century, it could not be directly converted into combat power, and in the end, countless people died on this land.
People kept retreating, eventually forced back to their starting point, where there was a natural barrier to defend and they could finally catch their breath.
At this point, the human race was severely weakened, with only one in ten strong survivors. Finally, people shamelessly sought help from Xia Guhong.
But Xia Guhong completely ignored them, letting them fend for themselves. Meanwhile, Luo Qingying received a blood letter from her mother. Soft-hearted, she secretly returned to the Moluo Star Domain without Xia Guhong's knowledge.
But what she didn't expect was that what awaited her was the Demon Luo Clan's deadly net. It turned out that some members of her family had sided with the Demon Luo Clan and betrayed her, and the ones who severely injured her were none other than her own family.
Despite being severely wounded, Luo Qingying still slew countless powerful warriors. By the time Xia Guhong arrived, Luo Qingying was already severely wounded. No matter how powerful Xia Guhong was, he still couldn't save Luo Qingying's life.
Luo Qingying met her end like this, but before she died, she asked Xia Guhong to promise her not to kill her family.
At that moment, Xia Guhong was both shocked and furious; he simply couldn't agree, but Luo Qingying's pleading look before dying made it impossible for him to refuse.
In the end, Luo Qingying died, and Xia Guhong was devastated, venting all his fury on the Moluo clan.
Carrying his beloved wife's corpse on his back, Xia Guhong charged alone into the depths of the Moluo Star Domain. The corpses floated for billions of miles. It is said he broke through the demon sea deep within the Moluo Star Domain and entered the Demon Realm along the passage.
Ten days later, carrying shocking wounds and carrying the corpse of his beloved wife, he quietly left. From then on, word spread that the ancient Daxia kingdom had been dissolved, the last ruler had vanished, and there was no longer any rumor about him in the martial world.
Those members of the Luo family who killed Luo Qingying were torn apart by countless angry experts and chopped into minced meat.
Since then, the Luo family has collapsed and split into many branches. Many years later, they gradually regained their strength. However, in the Moluo Star Domain, they have become a third-rate force, frequently targeted by arson, killing, and looting. It's unclear whether this counts as their retribution.
"I never expected Brother Xia Guhong to have such a heartbreaking past!"
Hearing this, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. Xia Guhong was such a hero, yet he too was suppressed by fate. Heaven was too cruel to him.
Recalling that day while drinking, the sorrowful look in his eyes must have reminded him of the painful past. Luo Qingying's death had dealt him a huge blow.
No matter how strong a person is, there is always a part of their vulnerability. Long Chen dared not imagine how he had endured all these years. If it were him, he would have long since gone mad and become a demon. He simply could not keep his promise like Xia Guhong; he would kill everyone in the Luo family.
"The Luo family betrayed Luo Qingying for the first time, and now they've betrayed the entire Moluo Star Domain?"
Long Chen asked, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes. Brother Gu Hong couldn't act because of his promise, so I don't have to worry so much!
